Really valued this perspective. As a training counsellor who benefits from a blend of therapy, woo and pharmaceuticals when needed, it's not black and white and very individual. It was fascinating to discuss an ethical dilemma in class that was about using astrology in the counselling room - some STRONG opinions from my classmates l. One nuance I'd add - certainly in the UK therapy isn't very well regulated! Anyone can call themselves a therapist... Terrifying really!
Wow! Thanks for these insights. I’d love to hear more about your experience in the classroom and the strong options of your students. This could be a fun discussion!
Definitely keen to do that! It's something I intend to write about on here too. Do be in touch! Favourite classmate quote - 'but astrology is nonsense, it devalues the profession of therapy....'
As a person who is a high functioning bipolar nerd. I agree 💯 with you. Except I need a wee little bit of pharmaceuticals to keep myself balanced. Tarot, divination and astrology all help me understand the energies we as a collective are experiencing and myself as an individual.
I love this! And I'm so with you about staying in your lane. As astrologers and tarot readers we can be great advocates for helping our clients find the help they need.

Thanks for sharing, and I hope I do not come across as anti-pharmaceutical! They for sure have their place. All of these pieces have their place.
